Come on, I get that everyone hates Cortana, but why spread such FUD? Of course it can kill Cortana as it's a regular user-space app.

The only Windows processes I see it can't kill are labeled System, System Interrupts, Secure System and Registry which I guess, are all kernel-space.

It would be ironic if you tried to kill Cortana and it said "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

But yes I don't see why it couldn't (or why MS would add such a high-level protection to Cortana)
